it's very easy on OBD-I.

using the key in the ignition, without turning the engine over:

off - on - off - on - off - on

after a few seconds the light will go off, then start flashing.

the flashes should be counted to form numbers, with pauses in between. (2 digit #s)

for example...

flash flash flash.....flash flash...... = code 32

the sequence will always end with code 55 (end of codes).

then just look at a guide to find out what the codes mean, or post them here.

cool man. Might be a vacuum leak at one of the hoses. If it comes back i'd look at replacing them.
